Academics More than 100 years ago. Temple Univer- sity began as a night school with only seven students. Although the university has grown to more than 35,000 shidents, the emphasis is still the same — educating students for the competitive job world, and to better them- selves. The academic program is marked above the rest by offering a broad range of majors for every student ' s needs. A total of 14 schools across five campuses offer 91 undergraduate, 86 master ' s, and 60 doctoral programs. If it ' s not offered at Temple, then it may not be offered anywhere. The faculty and academ- ics work hand-in-hand to make the education outstanding. Temple faculty are known for their participation in their fields of study out- side of the classrooom. Their hands-on train- ing keeps them in touch with the changing world, to the benefit of the student body. While studying at Temple, you are not left out on a limb to make it on your own. Faculty offer counseling, advising, and internships to prepare students for the job world after grad- uation. A Career Development Center offers helpful ideas on what employers are looking for, and where job openings exist. For those adventurous students who prefer a broader education, classes can be taken in Rome, London, and even Japan. This certainly Makes a Mark on those students who take advantage of our overseas campuses. With all of these programs at the Temple students ' fingertips, they are ready to Make Their Mark after graduation.
